ALC Performance Measures
Joint Commission–accredited assisted living communities (ALCs) are required to report ORYX Performance Measurement data to The Joint Commission via the Direct Data Submission Platform (DDSP) on all measures for all four quarters effective 1/1/2024.
To improve the quality of life for residents, accredited communities will abstract standardized performance measures, which allows organizations to track the care provided to their residents and improve that care, where needed.
Assisted Living Community Standardized Performance Measures
- ALC-01 Off-Label Antipsychotic Drug Use
- ALC-02 Resident Falls
- ALC-03 Resident Preferences and Goals of Care
- ALC-04 Advanced Care Plan/Surrogate Decision-Maker
